I Tested 100 Years of LEGO BOATS!

I bought old Lego boats to test if they float or sink...
Subscribe so I can afford to buy more Lego boats!

Who else noticed lego did an illegal building technique on the second boat

[abyssaljam]

Okay naval architect here, that ballast keel on the first "solid" hulled boats doesn't counter the waves. It moves the center of mass below the center of buoyancy, without the ballast the ship is like trying to balance a pencil on its tip. What actually counters the waves is the center of buoyancy moving around.

Also love the pronunciation of yacht, the correct way is clearly wrong along with most English pronunciation.

I dont think 100 years ago was 1961 but i like this still

[reobrauer]

Unlike that first boat The boat I built myself custom made with no instructions with way too many colors inside it actually floats better

This is just showing off all the cool old Lego sets he has

[jameshamaker]

i'm curious, as to what would happen, if the propeller was tested out on a boat from the city set from the artic expeditions series or one of the two boats the aqua raiders used. would they still float?

[YOOOOOOOJEMA]

5:59 Its a playmobil propellor motor. I love playmobil and I can confirm these playmobil motors are all defect and can’t be turned around so they are correct

[DevDxvid]

I had one of those boat motors. They are genius.

[usarmysf]

For the flickfire missiles around 3:20 need to be flicked not tapped but it looked hard to do that when the boat wouldn’t stay in place

[flethacker]

very creative video. i would like to see more research and testing of lego planes from past 100 years. test flights

[OldCrowle]

There actually were electric motors that could clip to the keel from the floating series. I had a couple of those. They were not from Lego, but came from a small submarine toy, that I also had.

[Rexini_Kobalt]

i actually had one of those yellow battery powered motors as a kid, never realized it was from a lego set!

[mitchellsams]

I have a fire boat from 2005 with the battery powered propellor. Love that thing.

[blob]

I have the boat from 1973 with the kiel and I never thought that it would be so old

[jbac]

That first boat NEVER sunk. It takes on water but stays buoyant

[linkspokemon]

7:15 perfectly describes the actual movie

[superotter]

I wish this guy changed "In 1979 this pirate raft was released" to "In 1779 this pirate raft was released"

[thegeekchurch]

Thanks for doing this, I am writing a book on LEGO, and I wanted to write at least a little something about boats and how they float.

[hypocritehaterofficial]

I’m shocked that you didn’t talk about the short-lived little motor for some boats from the 2000s

[Retrobricks]

a collection of lego boats, fantastic😗
